Tom......I posted kinda the same thing in Interior section regarding steering column info.....maybe between the two posts we will get the answers we could both use........How ever sir Mod..I believe mine is posted in the correct section ..........unless I should have posted in the chassis section

OK, I have no clue if there's a difference with the steering arm of the '71 - '72 - '73 - '74 Chargers, but if it helps any, here's my '72 steering shaft coming out of the fire wall and going to the steering gear box (of course before I pulled the steering column, my '72 is floor shift just for reference.

Sorry Tom!!! ;D

Thanks for the picture ......It answered one of my problems, I cannot believe the shaft is open where the end of the column housing ends...I would have thought there would be a bearing...or something?

Now If ya have pictures where the column mounted to the floor!..

Sorry for the HI-Jack Tom

Well, lets see what I can do here, probably not all that great, but here we go though:

I have a good close up picture of under the hood on a 73 Charger SE just not sure how to post it.If you want it let me know.

just in case THIS IS HOW EXACTLY IS my setup:


I know at least down here some 73 steering couplers won't get directly to the steering box. Instead that the coupler does have a bracket to attach there the thin rubber rag joint, and then another bracket with the spline piece to steering box

on mine ( like the yellow pictured ), the rubber rag joint is also the thin one and hidden by a metalic shield

I have a picture of everything from there down if you need it.I just am not sure of how to load it up on here.

Okay....maybe me posting pictures of what I have will help solve this mystery. The black column is the mystery piece. Since it has a 3 bolt attachment bracket, 74 can be eliminated. It does have a bearing in the end of the column, something that none of 72 floorshift-p/s columns that I own have. The length of column up to the coupler is shorter on the mystery column. The tan column is one out of my 72 SE with floorshift and power steering.

I bought it on eBay a long time ago, it was advertised as being out of a 71 Charger. On the column someone has used a paint marker and written 73 Charger. I am even starting to consider that it possibly might be an A body part.

Since it does not fit my cars...all I want to do is sell it. I just want to make sure that I get it correctly identified first. Anywho....here is the pics.

It maybe an A body column, I'll post some pic's of the one that was in my '70 Duster that I had....




Unfortanatly they aren't the best reference, but at the time I didn't think I'd be taking these trying to point out the steering column for reference, Laughing Out Loud

Also, this is a automatic column shifted with power steering...
